COVID 19 concerns: Suspicion for COVID 19 is higher if you have at least 2 of these symptoms: temp of at least 99.6, Cough, Shortness of breath, Chills, Shivering, Muscle pain, Headache, Sore throat or new loss of taste or smell. There are a variety of causes for loss of smell/ taste.

?Concern/Curiosity?: The sudden or RAPID loss of taste/smell is part of the recognized symptom complex associated with COVID. However, Dr. Fowler is correct pointing out that many things can cause these symptoms. I'd recommend a visit with a doctor to decide the BEST way to work these issues up with the best lab and diagnostic tests. Cheers!
